Not too long ago the world was all about low cost, clustered machines. Scale out was in and scale up was out. Transactional integrity was sacrificed for scale. MapReduce was heralded over SQL as the best way of processing analytical use cases. Cloud and the exponential increase in processor cores and memory are blowing up that theory. Roger will discuss how MariaDB exploits these fundamental architectural changes and how MariaDB enables both OLTP and Analytical use cases for enterprises at any scale.
